to improve poor land" He summarize it IS
follows:-Thsre are FIVE things need ul TO i'm
prove poor land viz Manure. rotation Of crops,
! live stock, implements and labor. The first
\ nd most important is manure and the farmer
should use every exeriion 10 produce The
largest possible quantity; enough should be
made each year, 10 at least cover one quarter
of the arabic land. This can be done by saw
ing every thing that will make manure; horses
should be fed in the stable the year round.
cows tied at night and hogs kept in well bed
ded pens, and 10 many other ways manure heaps
Can be enlarged ii the farmer is 10 earnest about
| it. Next c. mes rotation Of crops, which is
hardly less important; l would recommend
| 'four field rotation, let a farmer take his
aratle land. or AS much Of it ~ he can well
work and manure and divide into four equal
fields, then start, say, with corn we'll MANFRED,
folio wed by wheat drilled with four hundred
pounds Of fertilizer to the acre and sown with
clover in tae spring; let the clover remain two
years, then plow for corn; you will thus al
ways have one half of your NJ able land in Glow

once the second year and never Craze the Glow

| do not recommend tobacco, as it is. almost
impossible to improve q farm and grow it to
any extent. Keep oil the live stock you can
to do it we'll; as poor stock will impoverish
any land. Improve your stock every year, by
useing blooded males, and feed with a liberal
hand. It will pay, and more manure is there
by produced. Good implements cannot b
done without and every farmer should have
nanuring machine, horse rake. q Soy III,
and many others. Labor should be used with
economy and no crop injured for the lack Of I
day . labor at the right time.

The County Levy.


As promised last week we publish on our
outside pages of this issue The county levy for
this year, and we hope that it will be receive as
it Always should do, the careful attention OF
every cltiz.n in the county who feels an inter-
est in the economic management Of our public
affairs Il will be noticed that the levy Is
sigaed by but three members of the board OF
commissioners; this is due to the fact that on
the day appointed for this purpose Mr. Gray
was confined at home By painful accident
which had befallen him and Nr. Burroughs by
urgent private matters. The clerk has en-
deavored to make this statement what We law
intended it should be, plain exposition OF the
fusnci | aft ,irs Of the county for the fiscal year
ending June sOth, 1887. Every penny paid out
by the county during the period covered is, We
think, accounted for and every expense incur
red by the county during the sa me period is pro-
vided for in what the judi meut o. the board OF
commissioners deemed to he a fair compenst-
ton for the Sc vice rendered. II has endeavor-
ed to carry out the strict letter of the law in
preparing this statement and in the managemen ut
of our public aff.irs. This levy will be con-
spicuous tor an absence of long list of claims
entitled extra Road Work and Material. -
There were, however. the usual number Of su h
claims, but the board feeling that they cruld
not, under the law, exceed the sum Of IS 900
v hich is the limit Of our expenditures for road
york for any one year. either have or will pay
all such cl inns that have been audited out of
the So, 900 levied for road worf fer the past
year. II any one, after a careful examination
of this statement. can see wherein il is doc
tored'' for any political advantage or can show
whereia the public interests have not been care
fully guarded by the present able and eth lent
board we would like them to point it out. We
6 ,nnet point out any particular item which has
made possible the great reduction in our tax
rate, We oaly know that an examination will
couvince all that it is legitimate and wise and
will stand as lasting monumen, to the wise
Judgment Of the Democratic voters of the coun-
" in placing at the head 1f our public Affairs
eeallemen of business zeal and ability whose
frst care in the management Of our county
affairs has been the public veal.

The End Net Yet.

After the failure of the c)uns,f Of Biscoe to

allowed them by the court for that purpose and
after the sente ICE ofdeath hal been pronounced
upon re prisoner and he was taken back to
st. Mary's to wait his ex scution, our peop,e hll
thought an en- Of the case hal been reached
and that the perpetrator of an atrocious crime
would soon pay the penalty for his dastardly act.
Such, however, seems not to be the case. for his
coun ell. Judge Magruder and Mr.. b. H. Cam .iisr
have again brought the case t. the fore with
more legal te:hni salilies. Mr.. Turner. clerk OF
the court, received from these gentlemen Oh
Wednesday petition in the nature of writ OF
error asking an ord Or OF the court granting the
petition and praying that the case might be sen !
to the Court Of Appeals on the grounds set forth
In the petition. Tie paper is quite voluminious
and contains all the points urged by the counsel
during the progress Of the case ct the last trial
in May The exceptions taken by counsel have
not been filed and these seem to have been
abandoned and the counsel will endeavor to get
the case to the Appellate Court on the petitioh
Just fled The paper contains nine points of
error in substance as follows:
LIST. That the indictment was insufficient.
End. That court erred in overriding arrest Of
Judgment.
3rd. That this court had no jurisdiction t. try
the case.
4th That second trial OF case should have oc-
CURED In st. Mary's county.
: 18th. That the case was never validity reno we'd
from St. Mary's county.
9Th. That the court for st. Mary's county had
10 jurisdiction or cognizance of the offense.
7th. That the verdict was insufficient
9Th. That the jury was not properly polled.
9th That from the invalid polling Of the jury
no proper verdict was given.
Judge Stone signed the order granting the
petition Yesterday, This will have the effect Of
causing a stay of execution until the points
mentioned above are decided by the Court o.
Appeals. They will probably be argued before
the Co1rt at its October term.
